Gymkhana

Gymkhana is a game mode debuted in DiRT 3, and renamed as "Hoonigan" in DiRT Showdown. Instead of racing against other cars or the clock, points are awarded by judges for driving manouvres successfully pulled off. The courses are named as 'freestyle arenas' by the game's packaging.

The DC Compound is a fictional area set in the abandoned Battersea Power Station in London. Unlike other courses, it is a freeroam course, and only playable through the DiRT Tour itself. There is also no time limit. It is divided into three unlockable sections; the Parking Lot, the Depot, and the Power Station.

Square areas usually marked out by four purple, knockdown-able posts. Drive up to them as if going into a drift, but pull the handbrake, turn and hold the steering in one direction, and keep your foot floored.

Go as fast and as sideways as possible through the large, yellow/black inflatables to get the most points. It is possible to drift through two ways: trail-braking (turning into the corner whilst braking), and handbraking (turning and pulling the handbrake).
